Night Eyes

Full Description
Night eyes are tiny, delicate, pale blue flowers with white stigma. They only open at night, and have a unique tendency to point to the mid-point between the two moons.
Even when the night eyes plant is moved, the flowers still point to the moons, but it may take a few hours for them to turn to the correct point. Night eyes will continue to point towards them until just before dawn.

Additional Information
It is worth noting that the flowers do not bloom if neither moon is visible in the sky. This facinating property can potentially be used to tell time, or for navigation, but the plant is far to delicate to the survive rough handling that may be needed for such endeavours.

Lovely, evocative, flower. Manfred's comment makes me ponder "night pollen" as a potential spell component. And of course can picture cults/followers of lunar deities, with fields of these delicate flowers around their holy sites.

An example of a mythological worldview misinterpreting scientific practices occurred in Africa, where an aid organization, focusing on slowing and stabilizing population growth, distributed abacuses with red and white beads corresponding to a woman's menstrual cycle. Women were instructed to move one bead a day, only having intercourse on days represented by a white bead. However, the experiment failed, and the population grew in the households using the abacus. The women believed the abaci were magical, and that they would be protected from pregnancy by moving a white bead into the place of the red bead before intercourse.
